There are two things bugs do for video games. They can either allow a player to access something not normally available to gamers provided they do specific requirements or completely rip the fun out of your gaming heart. This story isn't about the first one by the way, so you know what to expect.

According to Wired, there's a bad glitch in Game Republic's Genji: Days of the Blade that can force you to start the game from scratch if you don't have multiple saves. A little over two hours into the game, you're supposed to find a key to get into a building, and then activate two switches on the roof of said building to move forward.

The problem is, you can't exactly do any of that if the key doesn't appear, and that's the bug that's currently a part of the game.

If you don't have a saved game from an earlier portion of Genji, you've basically given up a couple of hours of your life for a bug. If you do have one, you're still going to have to pray that the item shows up where and when it's supposed to. All in all, sounds like your typical blind date actually, so you just have to deal with it until something goes right, or until the developer fixes the bug for us and Sony lets us download a patch for free.
